Boy Scouts To Mark Lincoln Highway In Day

New York, Aug. 24 Boy Scouts In twelve stales along the route of the j Lincoln Highway w ill mark that fa- I minis automobile road from Hu* Atj lantic to the Pacific on September 1 The day has been fixed by the Nationjai official* of the Hoy Scouts of | America for a simultaneous setting of the more than 3,000 new, uniform, j four-foot high concrete markers, provided by Hie Lincoln Highway Association at a cost of several thousand ] dollars. ' The maikers will lie set by local i Boy Scouts under the auspices of the i j Scout Councils along tlie highway. In J Indiana, one of the slates through i which Hie Lincoln highway passes, a dale for the setting of tlie markers will lie fixed later, since the officials of the Lincoln Highway Association | have not yet arrived at an arrangement for the location of the markers. Adopt Highway , The Boy Scouts have “adopted" the Lincoln Highway in the sense that they are to keep an eye on the markers and report maintenance requirements to the Lincoln Highway Association. Combined efforts of the two organizations, it Is believed, will result in n highway probably as well marked as any in the country and In line with he program which is being slowly developed for the adequate marking of all the great national roadways. Present marking of the Lincoln Highway is notoriously inadequate, not 1 so much that great effort has not been ' expended in tills direction as tffut the markers set up have been of metal or wood and easily destroyed. None has proven adequate. Utility and beauty ate combined in the new markers. On the fuiw of each I is a small metal lias relief of Lin- j coin's head. Below this plaque, be- j tween broad bands of red and blue I appears he letter "L”. On the sides, clearly discernalile to the passing mo- 1 torist, are broad arrows, curved or straight, to indicate whether the highway bends or proceeds straightaway. Close together in the more thickly settled parts of the country, the markers will average a little more than a mile apart all the way from tlie eastern terminus of Hie highway at Holland Tunnels, New York City, to Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, 3,100 miles away. Safety Tour The setting of the markets is a sequel to another Boy Scout summer activity in connection with the Lincoln highway, a Highway Safety Demonstration tour, by Scouts in their own Covered Wagon which left New York on July 6, and was concluded on A’ugust 8, at San Francisco, exactly on schedule, at once a tribute to the modern highway, to good "driving and good automobiles. This tour was designed to arouse interest in highway safety and to/raw attention to the project for marking the highway. i’ach day the covered wagon tourists, four Boy Scouts selected for outstanding abilities and qualifications, gave demonstrations of highway' safety methods and First Aid at cities, towns and auto "camps enroute, under the direction of Remo M. Lombardi, a National Boy Scout official. Tile four Scouts were Bernard Quttpeau, New Rochelle, N. Y., CaTl Zapffe, Brainerd, Minn., Edward B.
